No news is good news but you can verify the labels on your disk by running e2label without a new label, for example: [ewilts@p6000 ewilts]$ sudo e2label /dev/hda1 /boot -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
